Judge really said “the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior” in the nicest way possible. And the defendant just stood there like a lump on a log
@@jeffvanmeter1330 I might be wrong but what I think happened is she was charged, and suspended sentence if she passed the compliance(?) hearing but didn’t show up for that so she got a warrant for missing that and now gets the jail
Judges give people chances, if they didn't, our prisons would be maxed full in half a day. We simply don't have enough prisons to put everyone in jail or prisons from the get go
@@scottmccrea1873 Judge Boyd gives most defendants at least 2 chances. After the second chance or if the defendant does not do what they are supposed to, then she sentences them. Murder and other violent crimes, she sentences immediately. If they have drug problems she gives them more chances.
Public defender had nothing to work with for a defense. Defendant didn't appear to be concerned about getting revoked or spending the next 5 yrs in prison.
Unfortunately, when you're a Public Defender, you don't get to choose your cases. Sometimes your client is irredeemable. All you can do is try to find some way to mitigate the damage and keep the prosecution in check.
@@Aren-Tibbsnot only that people who go in as defense attorneys know that they will legally be required to defend pieces of s*** who actually committed the crime
So she was offered a chance to avoid a five year jail sentence by showing up for a hearing and letting them know she wants to clean up, and she skipped the hearing??? Jeezus, that’s just a level of not caring that I can’t comprehend.
What do you do with a person who is allowed to be on probation but doesn’t make any effort to adhere to the guidelines? Judge Boyd had to make the tough choice here. There was no reason to trust her to do anything in the future.
That’s because most criminals see probation as a get out of jail free card and their lawyers, especially public defenders do not stress upon them the importance of progressing through probation. However, if the defense attorneys ask for probation two times or more because their client is not progressing in probation, that defense attorney should be made to pay a big fine to the court as a method to show that they had skin in the game by vouching for a client that they knew wasn’t capable of following the rules of probation! It would almost be like defense attorneys have to put a bond up for themselves in order to vouch for a habitual lawbreaker and probation violator. Defense attorneys would be less inclined to ask for probation for a client that repeatedly does not progress through it because if that client does not make it through the probation properly the defense attorney will lose a shit load of money that they had to put up to vouch for that defendant.
She could have worked harder. She could have met with her earlier and gone through her goals for the future, her aspirations, what led to the bad decisions and how she can change her life to avoid those in future. She really did nothing.
LOL...OMG....... the looks on this attorney ...... even she (attorney) is completely "done"....... the client cannot even give a reason........ make something up......... MY GOODNESS....
Oh sure....she reappears...and what happened with that "support system" you were going to rely on???? To all you criminals out there: COURT IS NOT YOUR LIFE COACH SYSTEM !!!
Why do these gangster chicks talk all timid and quiet in front of judge… I don’t think they’re acting that way when they’re waving their weapon around around regular people scaring them intimidating them being stupid and ignorant… I know this judge does not fall for that timid act at all
@@dannythunder3180 you mean without a gun waving around in her hand yes it should be intimidating, but it’s not intimidating enough. It’s still a fake act her acting timid.
That was awful. I’ve seen people get lots of chances. She didn’t give the judge one reason to give her another chance. When she said “you could always come back here if I’m here” it really hit me she might not be a judge In ten years. Stop throwing away your lives people. I did 64 days once. It sucked. Stayed out of trouble since . I can’t imagine a year let alone ten.
Judge: “Has she done anything on probation?” Lawyer:”No your honor” THAT RIGHT THERE is why the attorney isn’t too pressed. If you don’t care enough about staying out of jail to meet a single condition of probation, why would that lawyer waste an ounce of energy or a single minute of her time to go above and beyond for someone that isn’t even paying her?? That lawyer did the best she could with the nothing she was given.
They need to start referencing Probation with #'s. Probation #1, Probation #2, Probation #3 and so forth. If the threat of jail is hardly enforced, they are empty threats.
Her poor attorney - she had no idea what to do with this one. She didn't give it a ton of effort but I kinda get the idea that her client didn't give her a lot to work with.
It's amazing to me, that these people are privileged enough to stay out of jail, and don't do the tasks required of them. They know they will go to jail if they don't, and still will not comply. Always with the sick grandma, job that starts on Monday, blah, blah .... The judges must get so tired of listening to this all day long .
Watching these videos is so interesting to hear each defendants outcome. Alot of these people don't realize their lives aren't just their lives anymore. The courts decide where you can/can't live, where you can/can't go, what you can/can't do, who you can/can't be around. It's basically when your probation officer says "jump" you say "how high?". Geez, I'd never do anything to give the court system such say so in my life ..
How can you ask anyone of anything and not come up with a valid reason behind the request beforehand??? Let alone asking a judge to grant you some leeway with a past that reflects nothing but poor choices. How did an attorney let that take place as well 😂?
If I was looking at even one day in jail, you can bet you bippy that I would be answering the judge's questions in a loud, clear, respectful manner, not mumbling and saying let me go, and I will try to do better.
It's amazing how getting arrested makes someone's family members get sick, die, have a job interview Monday, etc. Lol I'm glad boyd recognizes that ❤. In her defense, it didn't seem like her lawyer prepared her very well or even knows about her. Her lawyer even tells the judge that she has gang issues. IMO the only reason why one wouldn't report is that they're on drugs and their brain is cloudy.
I don’t get all of these people who just blow off all responsibilities of being given the benefit of probation. They are surprised/upset when the rules are enforced 🤦♂️
Sadly, that's how it is from school on up. Kids get away w/ all kinds of stuff, and I'll be honest, San Antonio police don't enforce a lot of laws. So everyone just goes around doing whatever; when someone finally DOES get consequences, they can't believe it.
01:23 So clearly this defense attorney has never listened to track 3 of Judge Stephanie Boyd’s Classic Hits entitled “The Difference Between Choices & Mistakes” otherwise he likely never would have advised his client to say that. 🤔
I’ve been in many courtrooms as a witness and investigator and Judge Boyd is exactly what we need everywhere: an honest judge who is tough and fair and humane. We need to clone Her Honor and plant her in every county in America.
Train wreck client, with an attorney who did not lift a finger to help. So train wreck client with train wreck lawyer. Prepare for prison girl. What a hot mess!! Lol
@user-ui2gu5hn1n The lawyer had nothing to work with. Even Hawkeye is helpless with an empty quiver. What can you do for a worthless POS who refuses to follow the simplest of rules? She blew her first chance, which is simply being a law-abiding citizen. She blew her second chance, which was her initial probation on felony charges. She blew her third chance, which was continued probation after found carrying a gun. Now she wants a fourth chance with no explanation whatsoever for violating probation. It is sad that the taxpayers will be burdened with her upkeep for a year or two.
So glad the judge shut down the “sick grandmom” crap. It’s amazing how many defendants I’ve seen in videos or live in court that have sick relatives or children that they are the only ones who can take care of those people. Well, if you are the only one that can take care of that person/people, you better be on the straight and narrow so you don’t get locked up. (Yes I know the vast majority of the time the “sole caretaker” argument is BS) I understand life is hard, to varying degrees for everyone, but don’t make choices that make it even harder
damn to violate and be up for termination in less than six months is CRAZY! No better way to make a judge feel stupid for not smoking you the first go round. Also Judge looks like she lost some weight :)
She’s not a strict judge, she’s a wonderful judge. Judge Boyd is kind, and thoughtful and reasonable. This defendant disobeyed the court ( people of the USA ), so she ought not to receive a sweetheart deal.
The title actually is incorrect. Judge Boyd, is not strict at all, Judge Boyd desperately wants/tries to help everyone before her on anything and everything to enable defendants to be successful! Ultimately, it’s up to the defendants.🤷🏾♀️
The epitome of well the younger generation is now. The Judge asked you why you should be continued and you're so entitled that you feel you don't even need to answer.
She doesn’t seem to be very intelligent or articulate. Her reason for wanting to continue her probation was just stupid. I think that even Judge Boyd was shocked at that response. 😂
